That's a good choice.

That will help. For some reason I've never figured out, SIP works better
if you're registered somewhere. So, just go ahead an register whenever
you launch this SIP client.

I've never used that app, and never even heard of it, actually.
Meanwhile, I've used linphone for years and years.

Not really.

Well, you'll see my SIP address in my signature block. Please feel free
to call me and test your setup out.

PS: In case you missed it, you may prefer using the console SIP client
with Speakup (or brltty) instead of the rather clumsy graphical client
with Orca. I say the graphical client is clumsy because you have to
navigate around a 12-key keypad to actuate dtmf. That's much easier in
the console, for instance:

To launch the console app:
linphonec

To see the various commands:
help

Example of a help command you should look at before calling:
help soundcard

Hopefully, you're going to use something like a USB headset, rather than
trying to rely on your case microphone and speakers. The above command
will show you how to set that.

Configuration file is at:
$HOME/.linphonerc
